El's POV

As I was leaving for school my phone beeped. I checked to see it was a message from Alice:

Just wanted to warn you, Edward is running for pres and his campaigning starts today. Stay strong ~ Alice

I read and re-read the message. I love Alice for her concern but the fact that his campaigning starts today made me shudder. That's because it meant I'll have to see Edward's face all day long and everywhere. I don't know if I am ready for it. I don't know if I'll be able to face it or I'll break down. The very thought of seeing his face everywhere made me want to run back to my room. I texted Alice a thank you and took a deep breath and willed myself to walk to school.

I AM NOT GOING TO RUN AWAY! I don't know how I feel for him and I don't even want to know. All I know is that I am going to spend my last year at school happily and without any worries. Whatever happens with Edward I'll see to it.

I plugged in my earphones and started walking towards school. I swayed  to One Direction, singing to myself when I felt a car stop besides me. I turned around and my heart almost stopped beating. It was Edward. And he was not alone. He had Ashley sitting with him all but falling over him. I clenched my hands to the side all the while telling myself to control my raging beast of jealousy.

"Hi" I said to both of them. Jerk!

"Hey El, wanna ride with us to school?" Edward drawled in his oh-so-sexy-I-feel-my-heart-racing voice.

"ELizabeth."

He smiled at me hinting he knew what I was trying to do. I didn't know what to do at that very moment. All the decisions I had taken in bed today flew out of mind. One look at him and I knew I was, am and (if things keep going this way) will always be in love with him. I thought it better to deal with the issue than beat the bush around so I gave him a small smile and said

"Yes please. Thank you"

I saw Edward was stunned. He hadn't expected this reaction from me. Ashley huffed, mutterring something under the breath but I ignored her because I felt bad for her anyway. I slid into the backseat, thanked him once again and plugged in my earphones. I turned my face towards the window, looking outside while thinking over what Edward was doing. I knew what he was doing. He was trying to make me jealous. And though he initally succeeded at it but now his plan has gone down the drain because I am aware of it now.

The only reason why he is dong so is to win me back and that is where he is wrong. Had he known me, he would've known that I would never ever give in to him for stooping so low. I am not amongst those girls who believe that making your ex jealous by hanging around another guy will help in winning him back. Although the idea works but for some time it hurts both you and the Ex and it hurts the third person in this "fight for love" the most. And that is why I was feeling bad for Ashley despite the fact that she is a Uber bitch.

And this is also why I am not going to fake a relationship with some random guy. I will go for a relationship only when I feel that I want to. I glanced at Edward smiling half-heartedly at something Ashley was saying to him. I never knew you'd fall so low Edward. Using that poor girl who thinks she is in love with you to win me back? I felt bile rise in my throat as I felt despise for what he was doing.
